Special need is to have the script run under apache on both NT and linux. The suggestion of putting #!perl on NT for Apache seems to require perl to be in the path (though I haven't tested). Nor did I test setting mime or whatever in Apache to see if it would pick it up.
Again, default Apache (2.x at least) config on NT doesn't seem to run perl scripts that have the shebang wrong when perl is not in the path.
